3:02 am
being made despite obstacles thrown in his way. >> a lot of intensity on their. some key democrats are signaling they want no part of the president's effort. ainsley: griff jenkins is in washington as a 2020 hopeful unviolation their own plan. griff: very interesting turn of events as news broke yesterday that the administration is reversing course on a plan to shift migrants to buffalo wasn't it wasn't effective use of resources. one of the 2020 hopefuls, kirsten gillibrand was blasting the president's new immigration plan releasing her own solution, suggesting she simply would not detain migrants at all who are arrested a at the border. listen. >> as president of the united states, i wouldn't use the detention system at all. if they're given a lawyer and given a process, they will follow it. they can go into the community. >> meanwhile president trump highlighted the progress being made in the overall border battle. >> the wall is being built
3:03 am
as we speak. we will have close to 500 miles done by the end of next year. and we are changing laws as rapidly as we can get them through the courts. we are fighting a court system. we are fighting the democrats. i think there is tremendous pressure on many of the democrats to get something passed. >> this as provost of the border patrol say we have had 535,000 arrests so far this year in the southwest border with no sign of it getting better. the number will only get higher. we have had to release 40,000 in the communities as a last resort. the president is in a rally in pennsylvania tonight. we will find out if we hear more about it. brian: we will. they are not upset that people are coming. they are upset that we're going to put them places? is this unbelievable? south florida? buffalo? why don't we look at the reasonable why they are coming? why we can't stop them. does that ever come up? griff: you know, brian, it's a very interesting snapshot,
3:04 am
a window into just how fluid and overwhelming the problem is border patrol chiefs across the country i have been in contact with say they are really at their wit's end trying to find a place at the. it's not realistic although senator gillibrand would agree to release them all. not all show up at court dates putting them at risk. brian: the border patrol agents are going to start quitting. they are so overwhelmed it's not worth the money. ainsley: why do they need to work they don't need to be down there. steve: she is currently not president. brian: let's get everybody a lawyer i can r., take the numbers down from the benches we see at bus stops and give everyone a phone number so when they come here give them a lawyer and send them right to wisconsin or georgia or los angeles. ainsley: just hope they show up for court. brian: right. ainsley: thanks, griff.
3:05 am
brian: a little exasperated. steve: a lot to cover. kirsten gillibrand cover borders antiterrorism, anti-anti drugs but anti-gun but didn't say she would do anything to increase the security on the border to keep people from getting in. ainsley: harris faulkner was talking to u.s.a. border patrol agent. we heard 50% are securing the border and other 50% are doing the processing and taking care and changing diapers and feeding the babies and taking care of the families. this guy said i think i would challenge that number. i think it 75% are doing the processing. they are not actually able to security border because they are taking care of so many families. steve: so much going on down there. in over out weekend in the green zone in baghdad a katyusha rocket was launched. afairly they feel it was fired by iranian backed shiite militia group after that the president tweeted circumstantially if iran
3:06 am
wants to fight that will be the official end of iran. never threaten the united states again. brian: you can't really take that two ways. here is more from the president. >> i'm not somebody that wants to go into war. because war hurts economies. war kills people most importantly by far most importantly. you cannot let iran have nuclear weapons. iran has been a problem for some years. if you go back just take a look at all of the conflicts that they have caused and the deal that president obama made was a horror show the iran nuclear deal. i ended the iran nuclear deal and actually i must tell you i had no idea it was going to be as strong as it was. it totally -- the country is devastated from the standpoint of the economy. steve: those are comments that he made with steve hilton that were taped last week, ran last night on the channel. brian: great interview steve milton did. meanwhile, here's the good news. what the president wanted to do was stop them from getting nuclear weapon. he is not convinced because
3:07 am
it sun sets in 10 years and we didn't have any inspectors on site it wasn't a good deal. if iran get western involvement not use build up iran but islamic jihad and hezbollah. already the economic sanctions denying hezbollah. that's $700 million worth of financing. because of that, they are cutting back to their terror and their militias in syria. because of that, they are losing some influence in lebanon. because of that they can't continue to insight violence in gaza. so, this is what they are doing. the president is denying them funds to finance their network of terror. and allowing them to stand themselves up. ainsley: the president said that iran has now retaliating. he said if joe biden wins or one of the democrats win, that they would reenter the iran deal. steve: also, keep in mind it was just in the last week or so is that these iranian-backed rebels attacked a couple of saudi
3:08 am
tankers and apparent lay drone strike as well on part of their infrastructure and the country of saudi arabia said that a saudi diplomat said his country doesn't want to go to war but will defend themselves as well you can understand that. brian: on tuesday the rest of congress, those willing will be briefed on what the threat was that caused the president, his advisor as well as the secretary of state to evacuate everyone from iraq that was nonessential and move us out of harm's way while giving alert to just about all-american assets in the region. ainsley: in other news, lots of people had prom this weekend. college graduations, yes, and more house college historically black college in atlanta, all mental, all, you know, all boys. they had a commencement speaker who is a billionaire. he actually went to cornell and dedicated a lot of money to that university. he stands up and says, you know what? i have a surprise for you all look at the cheers. i'm going to forgive all of
3:09 am
your college debt and pay it all off for you. brian: a commitment of $40 million. here is how it sounded and caught everybody by surprise. >> on behalf of the eight generations of my family who have been in this country, we're going to put a little fuel in my bus. this is my class 2019. [cheers] and my family is making a grant to eliminate their student loans. [cheers] now, i know my class will make sure they pay this forward. and i want my class to look at these alumnus, these beautiful morehouse brothers and let's make sure every class has the same opportunity going forward. so, class of 2019, mate sun always shine upon you.

mate winds always be at your back, and may god always hold you in the cradle of her hands. congratulations. [cheers and applause] steve: and he did not make the announcement right at the beginning or end. he worked it in the middle. he was talking about the bus because he was talking about how he was growing up in denver he was bused on bus number 13 over to carson elementary. and being in a better school opened his eyes. that's why he did that there was a -- and you could hear some chanting mvp. one of the people in attendance said it either stands for most valuable player or most valuable philanthropist which he certainly was. ainsley: worth $40 million. steve: up. to say. brian: james allen grant listening to the speech 22 years old. all of a sudden when they made this announcement he looked at his dad who is a banking examiner who was
3:11 am
going to work another 10 years to pay off 45,000ness debt all of a sudden his dad says i basically can retire because of what that gentleman just did, mr. smith just did. ainsley: how did you feel if you had already paid it. your parents had already paid it. shoot, i shouldn't have paid it. brian: that's losing the spirit of it, ainsley. you could be practical. he set up grants for it. he also said one of the keys to his success in life was the fact that when he was in denver, they bused him to a predominantly white school, carson school. this is where he met the best teachers, inspirational people along is with having two parents with ph.d.es. ainsley: how wonderful is that i thought i wanted to learn more about him the ceo of vista equity partners they invest in software and technology companies. his net worth is $5 billion. he gave 50 million cornell. steve: his final bit of advice, whatever it takes
3:12 am
never forget to call your mother, i do mean call. don't text. ainsley: one mom in the audience she said, this is mother's day all over again. one person owed $70,000. steve: all the lives that guy changed. ainsley: i know. brian: we used to text it to jillian now i have to do it now. steve: call. brian: i will call you. hey, jillian. we do have serious news to get to start with a fox news alert. a massive man hunt is underway right now after a shootout leaves one officer dead and two others putter in alabama. police say grady wilks opened fire as they responded to a domestic disturbance call at trailer park in auburn. last seen wearing body armor and is considered armed and dangerous. 18th shot and killed in the line of duty this year. another fox news alert now. a swedish prosecutor request to detain wikileaks founder julian assange over a 2010 rape allegation.

3:18 am
to be a democrat if all of those things are true. and i understand that the d trip is going to try protect the incumbent. we have to look at all of these issues and think about what it means to be a democrat. ainsley: as the battle over regulating abortion continues progressives like the one you just heard from camille la from the state of washington appear to be pushing to rid the democratic party of pro-lifers ahead of the 2020 elections. executive director for life of america chris stai kristin d. thank you for coming on. >> thank you for having me. ainsley: you can't say you are a democrat if you are for abortion. what's your reaction? >> she is compleel wrong in trying to redefine what it means to be a democrat. tried protect the underdog. those who need assistance and the vulnerable. who is more vulnerable than an infant in the womb.
3:19 am
and that baby is so worthy of protection and protection of the democratic party. and she is absolutely wrong on that front. ainsley: we have heard so many people talking about this issue as of late because of new laws that are trying to be pushed by certain lawmakers saying that you could have an abortion even after the baby is born after have you carried all the way through. but if you look at a poll, a marist poll from january, it says most people agree that abortion should be limited to the first three months. democrats 60% of democrats agree to that. 92% of republicans, and 78% of independents. so, is she completely wrong? does she not understand her own party. >> no, she does not. and i think there is a small minority of democrats who are really vocal and really pushing the party to take this abortion extremism position and it's really out of touch and the time is now for pro-life democrats to start standing up and saying no, enough. there are 21 million pro-life democrats out there. and a lot of them are afraid
3:20 am
to speak up. i have heard from pro-life legislators that they have their constituents come up to them and whisper i'm a pro-life democrat, too. but, you know, they won't be vocal about it. ainsley: tough whisper it. >> the time is now. the party is going in the absolute wrong direction. and, you know, we may have won the house back and congress but there are seats all around the country that are in jeopardy because of this abortion extremism. if you look at the south, it's mostly republican in the south. ainsley: you are right. thank you so much for joining us. >> sure. thank. ainsley: remember the starbucks cup game of thrones fans were talking about for weeks? guess what? another big drink made its way on the screen in the big finale coming up next. ♪ ♪ we are true believers. ♪

a former bernie sanders staff filing a lawsuit this past week accusing the pro-bernie organization called "our revolution" of discrimination after she was fired. she claimed she was personally attacked for raising concerns about issues affecting african-americans and the group's exclusion of african-american issues from its agenda. here to explain her side of the story that you have not heard is former consultant and director of strategic outreach for our revolution tezlyn figaro. tezlyn, good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: you filed this lawsuit last week. tell us the story. >> well, you know, i first want to say i was a former racial justifiable director for bernie sanders in the 2016 campaign. if i did not stand up and continue to take cover for senator sanders then i would never have been about racial justifiable in the beginning. every time it has turned my stomach for the last year every time they get up and say senator sanders chained himself to a woman in the
3:26 am
1960s. senator sanders chained himself to a martin luther king in the 60's. will you stand with this woman in 2019. will you march with me in this black woman in 2019. for three years consistent concerns. my colleagues have come forward, not just me, in print in the "new york times" about issues of racism within the bernie sanders movement. the public has talked about it. even as recently as last night people were concerned that no black people were in the audience in birmingham, alabama with a population of over 71% black. this has been an ongoing wish vermont leaders, black leaders who have said that senator sanders have ignored him. unfortunately there has been cover for senator sanders. i'm not saying that he himself is racist his amusement is. a reason why no one from the 2016 black outreach department is no longer there working for senator sanders. and justifiable has to be taken into account. it's one thing to talk about it in the article but it was important to me to file a federal lawsuit to talk about the outreach efforts to talk about how board
3:27 am
members said point blank straight up why am i placing so many events in black neighborhoods? steve: so that is why you filed the lawsuit to set the record straight so that people understand that you saw problems inside the bernie sanders campaign. but, tezlyn, you know, when you were let go, here's one of the headlines, buzzfeed news. our revolution staff fired for anti-immigrant remarks is suing pro-berniey group tore racial discrimination. this is the buzzfeed story that ran this past week. that sounds like you were fired for anti-immigrant remarks. >> that's correct. it was a lie. political did an article with that headline that was infused by lus flores who happens to be the same one that attacked joe biden. went to political an politico ad anti-immigrant remarks. pushing for black people who
3:28 am
were locked up in prison during that immigrant conversation. and politico never called me for my comment. they ran with the piece. ran three different pieces saying i was anti-immigrant. of course she is on fox news so it must be true. and never once looked at my record, my over 20 years of fighting for black issues. what i said was all of the issues are being talked about with immigration yet, no one is talking about the fact that black men are imprisoned and more than those enslaved in 1850. that was my comment and any considered that anti-immigrant. that was not why i was fired. it was because of black outreach. steve: thank you for setting the record straight. we reached out to our revolution the group you worked for and bernie sanders have not heard back from them. tezlyn, anything else you would like to say before you governmental senator sanders i would like you to meet with former colleagues as we asked you to in february of this year. like to you respond and pick up the phone and meet with us like you reached tout

3:33 am
funky town, you know. brian: sti, you can't use the definition in the sentence. like how do you define funky? ainsley: that's a hard one. a lot of fun? brian: i guess it's in the eye of the beholder whatever you think funky is it is right, dan bongino? >> yeah, like beto o'rourke running for president whatever you think he is, he is. brian: absolutely it. all goes back to 2020 every time. brian: let's talk about -- decided the president did obstruct justice. and he is the first republican to break. and give the hope for impeachment to democrats everywhere. what's your response? >> justin amash should leave the republican party a sap. that gives me absolutely no joy in saying that. it brings me misery. i will tell you why, i have been a vocal support of congressman amash for a very long time. i come from the libertarian
3:34 am
wing of the party myself. i have been out there on radio hosting. i may have said it on this station before. i thought he was one of the more principled guys in congress. turns out he is the biggest phone upthere right now. either he doesn't understand the case. the totality of the case at all or he is doing something to get his name in the media, why? i don't know. does he have bigger aspirations other than being a congressman? there is absolutely nothing libertarian claiming an innocent man, president trump who did nothing wrong in this case should be impeached and thrown out of office for if i can dishes crimes that didn't happen. it's outrageous he claimed that. >> never a fan of justin amash. a total light weight who opposes me and ideas and policies for the sake of getting his name out there through controversy. if he actually read the biased mueller report composed by 18 angry dems who hate trump, he would see it was nevertheless strong
3:35 am
on no collusion and ultimately no obstruction. anyway, how do you object structure when there is no crime and in fact crimes were committed by the other side. jump is a loser who sadly plays right into our opponents' hands. justin was tweeting over the weekend the president engaged in impeachable conditioning barr misrepresented mueller. why do you think he is doing this if is he a republican? >> i don't know maybe he has some bigger aspirations maybe run against the president. mane he wants to be a senator. obviously some kind of media grabbing headline i don't know. i can't figure it out. what's libertarian about? you are supposed to support liberties given bill of rights. donald trump and his team absolutely know he was spied on. we know fourth amendment rights. rights were throne out the window and trashed. and you are a libertarian supporting further potential criminal action down the line against the president of the united states? it doesn't make any sense. is he unaware of this case
3:36 am
that a crime was fabricated out of thin air, out of weaponized police state assets that went after the president and his team? did he miss that whole story? and on this obstruction thing, it's absurd. the president told jim comey and jim comey's own notes to investigate people who were satellite if he thought he did something wrong. as a deputy director of the fbi admitted up on capitol hill there was, quote, no effort to obstruct his investigation. what is amash talking about? did he miss this entire case and just jump in at the end and send out a random tweet on the weekend because he was bored? really that they thick. steve: dan, the attorney general of the united states bill barr made it clear spying did occur and now they are looking into. they are investigating the investigators and the inspector general report is going to come out so maybe we will have some clarity there. meanwhile, let's go ahead, we are going to go back in the way back machine to 194 when joe biden the senator from the great state of delaware was in the senate.
3:37 am
he was one of the sponsors of the crime bill. which these days he is trying to explain away why he supported it. well, bobby rush, a democrat from chicago, apparently we have latched on to some tape back in-a couple years ago where he says that this crime bill was the worst thing to happen to the black community in 23eu6 50 years, listen to this. >> i am ashamed of my vote. that was the worst vote as i look back over the years that i have taken since i was in congress. crack cocaine and the crime bill was the two worst inner problems, catastrophes that the black community has suffered through in the last 50 years. i absolutely apologize for voting for that bill. we have not accomplished
3:38 am
anything other than further destruction of our communities. >> dan, when joe biden was told comments and asked if he was ashamed of the bill did he not waiver, what do you think? >> this is interesting. because biden is going to have to -- during the primary seasonal we are in now for the democrats. he is going to have to run away from old joe biden and latch himself to new obama joe biden as his vice president, right? some of this older votes were more from the moderate wing of the democrat party and, steve, that's not where the democrats are right now. the energy is with the bernie sanders socialist types, right? after the primary, if he gets out of it and wins, he is going to have to go back to old joe biden and exit the obama-biden vice president character because the obama record was awful on the economy. obamacare and everything else. he has got an interesting dilemma. right now. this is definitely not where the democrats are the energy
3:39 am
is with the aoc. brian: the only thing dink and we have got run. the only thing different is he has this huge lead. if the democrats are way to the left, why does he have a 20 point lead? >> it's name i.d. only, brian. remember, primary everybody is a democrat. there is no other distinguishing characteristics other than your name. people see a name, that's who they go for. that's going to change as the debate starts. polls mean nothing right now. steve: dan bongino, it's a pleasure. thank you for joining us from palm city down in florida. >> good to see you guys. ainsley: jillian has headlines for us. >> let's start with this story a young athlete collapses and dies while running a marathon. taylor was a quarter mile away from the finish line when the 22-year-old suddenly fell to the ground. she recently graduated walsh university where she played soccer. no word on what caused her death protesting growing in

3:55 am
what is expected of us. it's more like venting. steve: it's not always trash talking though. >> exactly. it could be sharing good information. telling us how we should aspire to be. you were talking about how gossip can be negative and you don't want to talk negatively it. can be a positive thing where you are talking about how someone should act and say am i on point? am i accounting the way i should within the group? brian: if it's so important why don't you tell it to the people's face? doesn't that show a cower dis? >cowardice? >> when we gossip gaining trust with other people. and also it helps us to reduce anxiety. when you are telling on somebody who is not behaving properly it feels good. we are saying they should not be honored in the group. ainsley: isn't there a nice way to talk about people without gossipping because i have awltsd been told don't gossip and don't say anything to hurt anyone's feelings. so i try not to do it.
3:56 am
>> i think that's smart. according to this study, it seemed like they were defining gossip as venting. so, it was sharing information about the people that you spend the most time with and so that's a little bit different than saying things that are nasty but here's the good thing. if somehow you hear that you have been spoken about poorly, it encourages self-reflection and it really is very helpful in terms of people upping their game in terms of behaving better and more proper way. steve: that makes sense. the neighbors say i'm doing this, i'm throwing the leaves in their yard. >> you say oh my goodness, maybe i'm being a little selfish. brian: maybe end up on page 6 where gossip lives. >> right. that's the upside, too. steve: there is a lot of it. doctor, thank you so much. >> thank you. brian: i can't wait for you to leave so we can talk but.

4:05 am
steve: absolutely. griff regarding the morale. speaking to the border patrol agents we have their frustration is with congress. they just wants congress to change the laws. they are happy to do their job on the border. it's the fact that congress will not change the laws to make their job easier and the country safer. >> one patrol chief told me recently i don't need another politician to come down here to see the problem we have already shown them. i need them to fix things in washington. brian: the framework was laid out by lindsey graham. that would work. griff: well, we will see. i don't know about that. i can't speak to that i will tell you this one thing is those border patrol agents are crossing their fingers and hoping they will get busy the capitol behind me to get something done that magnet, that draw is definitely not being diminished in anyway. steve: the president said over the weekend the country is full. griff, thank you very much.

4:07 am
is just have everybody's vote cowntd the same. look, states don't vote. people do. i believe that the right of a woman make her own decision is a national right. we have gotten away from who gets to draw the line. i trust women to draw the line when it's their own body. ainsley: like you said, is he very measured. he knows how to answer these questions. he is a politician. but if you are going to go to the polls and vote for him. have you got to know where he stands on these issues. he is extremely progressive. wants to get rid of the electoral college? brian: right. steve: in new hampshire which would diminish their effectiveness. people clapped loudly when he said that. brian: they are all his friends. is he related to the whole audience. don't hop on our channel and continue to put down the other hosts on the channel or the channel. if you feel that negative about it don't come. for him to go out there and take shots at prime timelineup without going on prime timelineup to me shows absolutely no courage. to me the other thing that's

flat out wrong the tax cuts were for the rich. they weren't. the biggest corporate tax cuts to make us more competitive around the world. and they have worked. smallest tax cut is for those who pay utmost. the rest if you look at "the washington post" fact check is he wrong about that. steve: he was asked about the deficit and he says he favors four tax hikes. one would be for higher marginal income tax. second would be some sort of a reasonable wealth tax. did he not specify what that was. a financial transaction tax going after people who make money in the stock market. and close loopholes. brian: no worry about spending. steve: question about deficit. brian: only way to take deaf society down is to cut spending he wouldn't take the courageous step. ainsley: answers questions in a very thoughtful way when they asked him about taking down certain memorials like jefferson and
4:09 am
washington. he answered and said, look, if you watch some of these networks they want to say i'm going to basically go down and remove the lincoln memorial. he said i'm not saying that. wasn't it lincoln memorial? brian: no, jefferson. ainsley: i'm not going to remove that one or rename some of these streets after people african-americans. brian: here is the anger of that. you say thomas jefferson no longer is worthy of having a jefferson jackson dinner? okay? what about barack obama? barack obama we love him. did you love him in 2008 when he said marriage between a man and woman? did he show intolerance then because in 2012 he said same sex marriage was fine. not worthy in 2008 and worthy in 2012? we are impossible scale what he is talking about is instead of saluting our founding fathers begin to diminish their importance we wouldn't be a country without that. steve: he took aim at a cup perform news outlets. i think fox and the "new
4:10 am
york times" as well. because in his original comments with hugh hewitt he was asked about removing the name from the annual jefferson jefferson jackson dinner that's where they started and then he went on to say he didn't want jefferson's name entirely stripped from the public square but instead honorary titles for instance those democratic dinners. he said last night that's what he was talking about. we just gave him the opportunity to clarify. brian: we just clarified 6:50. we just had both comments on. ainsley: jillian has headlines. jillian: we start with a fox news alert. urgent manual hunt intensifying after shootout leaves one dead and two others putter in alabama. listen to chilling calls for help. >> police say grady wilks opened fire as officers responded to a domestic

relationship. >> so there you have the president sitting down with steve hill ton it ranch last night. they were talking about how it was revealed at the conclusion of last workweek that apparently regarding the tariffs against the farmers, mexico, canada, they have been lifted and now what happens? >> start foreign trade again. that's what is going on here president needs political support of the farm belt. in all trade dispute it's farmers taken quite a hit so far. he needs to retain that political support. so got a couple things going for him. number one we now start farm trade again, mexico and canada, that's what everybody wants. brian: rescinded the air force. retaliatory tariffs. >> that's exactly what's happening you will $15 billion collect from the chinese good redistributed to the farm belt. steve: how does that work? everybody get a check? >> the plan that i have heard is that we will use
4:35 am
that 15 billion to buy the commodities, soybeans, for example, which the chinese will not be buying we give those commodities to the poor countries to the world and that's how we balance out aid to the farmer. that's one tentative plan whether that works out at the end is another story. the president is trying hard to maintain the political support of the farm belt. he has. to say average salary is going up same grate somery for wage earns. tight labor market. 1.3 million more jobs than unemployed people. so you have got to pay more people and get new people coming in by summer people saying 4% wage increase clip it which will be very nice

5:02 am
we're fighting the democrats. there is tremendous pressure on many democrats to get something passed. reporter: as one of the 2020 hopefuls, kirsten gillibrand is blasting president's handling of the crisis. suggesting that migrants should not be detained the at all. >> as president of the united states i wouldn't use the detention system. if they are given a lawyer, they will follow it. they can go into the community. reporter: border patrol officials have been forced to release 40,000 migrant into community for safety of those in custody. we have more migrants in custody than agents on the border. they are worried they are forced to release single adult males across the country, that will increase numbers more disas i canally. bottom line, border patrol officials are overwhelmed, out numbered, running out of solutions. they're waiting for congress in the building behind me to act.
5:03 am
steve: good luck with that. kirsten gillibrand regarding migrants, she doesn't want to detain anybody. if they're given a rain shower and process they will follow it. so far how many followed process? reporter: numbers as recent as 2017 as close as we can find on the books, perhaps, about 1/3, quarter to a third of the people don't show up to their court date. the problem, steve, is that since we've been keeping track of who does go to their asylum hearings, we had had influx of central american family units that have to be put somewhere. before we didn't have to put them anywhere. you have to remain in mexico solution. that is why you're seeing numbers take off. while she may have a lid to stand on many people do show up to court, because they do, not all do. now with some coming released into the communities, where many of them have a diaspora where
5:04 am
they have family connections or people to assist them, it is creating a problem we have not dealt with. you heard the word unprecedented used by border patrol officials. ainsley: you talked about the morale of the border agents. we had one on last week, sitting down with harris faulkner, talking to harris faulkner, about 75% of the border agent are now helping these families. they're taken off the front lines. they're not able to do the job they're hired to do. reporter: it is the toughest thing to talk about with these agents. the sources i have made from all 2,000 miles of this border, morale is really suffering, ainsley. i mentioned last hour. i will keep mentioning it. here is the deal, these are people that are serving the nation. they don't make millions of dollars. they have families. they are doing everything they can to deal with this situation that is truly out of control at this moment. brian: a lot of them are parents, seeing kids, trying to
5:05 am
help out at same time, they can't keep up. they need supplemental pay for these people, for housing. for senator gillibrand to say that, shows see has no idea what is happening at the border. we have no lawyers to handle the daily influx. if we sent down judge napolitano, judge pirro, we could not get enough lawyers for all illegals. you need to detain them for their own safety. steve: she is running for president, that is what she is running on. ainsley: if you like that idea you can vote for her. brian: fantastic. steve: president of the united states said when he was running he would get tough on trade. he would do something about nafta which he has. in fact at the end of the last week the restrictions we placed against farmers regarding the trade with mexico and canada, we were going to rescind those because they have got a new deal. brian: yeah. we put on tariffs to force
5:06 am
movement. they had retaliatory tariffs right after our farmers. so the president pulled them back over the weekend, steel and aluminum. they're pulling back their tariffs on farmers. so that's good. the umca, the new nafta has new momentum in congress. maybe the democrats are looking at it. ainsley: president says he has to do what is best or other country. starting monday our great farmers can do business with canada and mexico. they have taken tariffs off our great agricultural product. make sure you're being treated fairly. any complaints should immediately go to secretary sonny perdue. steve: we had stuart varney and talking about how this move helps the president and of of course the farmers. >> the president needs the political support of the farm belt. in all the trade wars and trade disputes it is the farmers who have taken a quite a hit so far. he needs that political support.
5:07 am
number one we started farm trade against with mexico and canada. plus there is $15 billion we'll collect from the tariffs placed on chinese goods that will be redistributed in some way to the farm belt. steve: in some way would be redistributed he said. so far according to one report i saw this morning the administration has paid $8.52 billion to offset the impact of the trade wars. brian: all right. let's move on to something we can all relate to, and that's graduations. whether you're going to one. you experienced one. you hope to have a graduate in your house sooner or later. commencement speakers we talk about them because of controversy. we talk about a commencement speaker, robert f. smith for all the good he did. ainsley: this is a great story. probably the best story of the day because we all know what he did. this is morehouse college, all male historically black college
5:08 am
in alabama. he was asked to give a address to all 400 seniors. he had quite a surprise. steve: it wasn't at the beginning. it wasn't at the end. he worked it in the middle. he was there accepting an honorary doctorate. when he made the announcement. we'll play the announcement. for context he describes he was growing up, he was bussed in denver to predominantly white school. he would climb up on bus 13 to go to carson elementary which changed his life. with this sound bite he is about to change all those men's lives. >> on behalf of the eight generations of my family who have been in this country we're going to put a fuel in your bus. this is my class, 2019.

[cheering] brian: those are 400 happy graduates. one of anecdotal stories you can appreciate is jason grant, 22 years old. he had $45,000 in student debt. his dad thought he would work another 10 years to pay that off. now i don't have to. he will retire a little bit earlier.
5:10 am
steve: he might retire today. brian: it is important to background. bussed to better school. parents were phds in the middle class in that area. so many people are in a cycle, where you live in low income area, property taxes go to the school. if you don't have high property taxes the school didn't get a lot of money, doesn't attract best teachers, equipment, coaches, the cycle continues. he bucked the system going across to a school with resources. >> a lot of lawmakers want school choice, you can choose to go to another school. you have to provide many cases your transportation. steve: that is great. ainsley: you know how as a parent how stressful it is with debt? steve: you go to college graduation, he is speaking, wait a minute, did he say he paid off my debt? whoa! ainsley: how will next guy trump this. i would not want to be the commencement speaker next year. steve: we asked you for
5:11 am
comments. tremendous gesture and impactful gift for robert f. smith and his family. thank you for leading by example. paying it forward. ainsley: carol said, that is what america is made of. those who can, helping those who might not be able. thankful for this man's generosity. brian: you can't thank him with money. thank him by doing it for somebody else. meanwhile will says this, i wish you were at my commencement that would have been great. terrific. >> i bet all the students who paid off their children's college, they probably are wishing they -- brian: not as cool as i think. steve: in that case they're all starting with clean slates. ainsley: what a great story. steve: jillian, good morning to you. jillian: let's start off with a fox news alert.
